CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Proverbs 13:20 – “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Be ware the company we keep.  This advice is talked about for kids and teens, but it applies to adults as well.  Who we are around will influence our thoughts, words, and actions.  We need each other to love each other well enough to tell the truth, to carry us when we are wounded, and to celebrate each others victories.  We also need to be mindful of the influence that we can be on others, especially on our spouses and kids.  If you don’t like what you see in your loved ones, it might be coming from us.  Ended with a thought from a man I respect, “The sins you commit in moderation now your kids will commit in excess.”  This calls for a humble fight every day men, and I’m glad to fight it with you guys.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition and conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:1-4

As leaders we need to look to the needs of others and not just ourselves. Leadership is not about being in front or making everyone do things your way. Leadership is humbly looking after the needs of others around you and putting others before yourself.

The Word / Prayer

Today I felt like there wasn’t anything very inspirational I could share.  Instead I decided to focus more on the prayer.  It seemed more important.  Thanks 🙂

Dear Lord, This morning we pray that you give us strength.  Please make us strong for you in this world.  We know that there are struggles that we will face today.  Please be with us, and give us strength when we are too weak, Amen.
